Greetings Gamers. This is Mewkow, a resident expert on a common gamer condition called Altitis.

If you are growing your own alt army, let me introduce you to the must have items…heirlooms.
Unless you are trying to savor the level grind, or love constantly changing out equipment, heirlooms are practically required for any serious altoholic.
Their primary focus is to grow with your character as they level to maximum, but certain pieces include a bonus.
You can get an heirloom piece for just about every slot on your character, but some come with an added experience bonus.
A full set of experience boosting heirlooms can really speed up the leveling process, having 5 or 10 percent in experience boosting power per item.
Heirlooms can be bought with gold, currency from expansions past, and even obtained from the dreaded garrison shipyard.
While quite pricey in gold to fully upgrade an heirloom piece to level 100, you can also obtain these upgrades from various dungeon currencies, and most active holiday currencies.
Heirlooms make an altoholic’s life far smoother in their leveling travels, and happen to have an iconic look as a bonus.

While garrisons may draw the ire of many, nothing draws more apathy than… the shipyard.
This level 100 garrison feature took the simple follower mechanic, and replaced it with equipable ships that have varying roles.
I imagine many with Altitis will have stopped short of getting the shipyard on more than one character, but it may be worth getting on multiple alts.
It will take more time and effort to get a shipyard up to full speed, as compared to garrisons, but the rewards are greater.
On top of higher gold and Apexis shard payouts, shipyard missions give alt friendly gear that will quickly gear them up.
Rarer missions will even hand out heirloom rings that are quite coveted by altoholics.
Don’t be too timid with your shipyard missions, as they pay well, and those you send out with above 90 percent chance will not suffer an explosive ship loosing fate.

This time, we’ll be covering a more warcraft-centric aspect that everyone seems to love to hate; Garrisons.
Where most players may see a boring, chore like mechanic, an altoholic will see an opportunity to really make use of their alts.
By getting your alts to level 90, and doing the very least of questing to get your garrison, that alt will start generating garrison resources.
From there, it is very easy to set the garrison up to be a money making source.
With a little more effort, it can really become a money making powerhouse with the use of the trading post, and followers that can bring back even more.
A full alt spread of decently manageable garrisons can generate thousands in gold a week, depending on the time and effort you put in.
A more specialized setup with the appropriate crafting or gathering shops can turn that garrison into a crafting resource center to support another alt’s creation.
With a bit more work, and the addition of a barn, you can even make that alt garrison into a raiding resource generator for just about any need.
When you have a healthy case of Altitis, it really pays to put it to work for you.
